Intent of the Intervention

The Pennsylvania Fresh Food Financing Initiative (FFFI) is a practice-tested policy-level intervention designed to increase access to affordable, quality healthful foods in underserved areas of the state. The program provides critical one-time loans and grants for the development, expansion or renovation of fresh food retail establishments, such as supermarkets or grocery stores. The FFFI also creates steady jobs for community members living in economically distressed areas.

FFFI is a community-level policy and environmental-change intervention.

The Center TRT is supported through Cooperative Agreement Number U48-DP001944 with the Prevention Research Center of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention with funding from the Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity.
